PARI thinks C compiler is broken on Open Solaris.

[sagetrac-drkirkby]

On a Sun Ultra 27, running Open Solaris 06/2009 and gcc 4.3.4, I get the following error when trying to build PARI:

I've not looked yet, but the chances are it some GNUism passing inappropriate flags to the compiler. It might be a problem with pari, or it might be a problem in something Sage does, so at this point in time, I've not reported this upstream, despite the fact it might be an upstream bug.

Is this issue fixed by #9343? If yes, we can close this ticket.

Replying to @jdemeyer:

Is this issue fixed by #9343? If yes, we can close this ticket.

At this point in time, #9343 has not been merged to any stable release (only alphas), so I think currently this ticket should stay open.

In theory #9343 could be reverted, though I doubt that will happen.

Did you at least try it with PARI 2.3.5 (which is e.g. included in Sage 4.5.3)?

Changed upstream from None of the above - read trac for reasoning. to Fixed upstream, in a later stable release.

Assuming this is fixed.
